“A globally minded lover of life” is how I’d describe myself in a nutshell. Having started traveling the world at a young age, I quickly realized just how much there is to enjoy, experience, and learn from life. I know, however, that sometimes things aren’t all sunshine and rainbows: family circumstances, broken relationships, struggles with self-acceptance, and so much more can bring pain and gloom. I managed to learn and grow from these challenges by doing the things I’m good at: writing, project management, singing, sports, and community service. Because I want to share this philosophy with others, I decided to join Gausus Gyvenimas as an Ambassador of Hope Coordinator. I believe that in the family-like GG community, everyone can find their place to live a meaningful, happy life regardless of their circumstances.
